On the official facebook page for The Avengers, this first look concept art by by Ryan Meinerding for Iron Man 3 was just released.

Iron Man 3 which has been confirmed for a release date of May 3, 2013, will feature Robert Downey Jr. as the iconic Super Hero character Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle as James ‘Rhodey’ Rhodes and Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan.

Worth noting is the ‘exclusive’ in the bottom left hand corner of the image, which appears to be next to the logo for San Diego Comic-Con, which takes place this year July 11 through July 15, 2012. On Saturday, July 14, at 6 pm – 7 pm, Walt Disney Studios and Marvel Studios will host an Iron Man 3 panel with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and ‘special guests.’

It is likely that a print of this concept art will be distributed at the panel and/or the Marvel booth.
